Third-Grade Hero
When Ursula Sawyer was in third grade, she saved the lives of her family. Ursula woke up to discover a fire in the bedroom she shared with her sister. "I didn't have time to be scared," Ursula says. "The fire was rising. So I took my sister's hand, and we jumped over it."
Ursula quickly woke the rest of her family and called 9-1-1. The firefighters say Ursula is a hero.
